Jo-Rumi 12
1 Emomiyo, jowetena, ajiwou kuom ngʼwono mar Nyasaye, mondo uchiw ringreu kaka misango mangima maler kendo ma Nyasaye morgo, nikech mano e yor lemo makare.
I BESEECH then of you, my brethren, by the mercies of Aloha, that you present your bodies a sacrifice, living and holy and acceptable unto Aloha, in a rational service.
2 Kik koro ulu kit ngima pinyni, to lokreuru ka parou doko manyien pile, eka unubed gi nyalo mar pimo kendo ngʼeyo dwach Nyasaye, ma en dwache maber, mowinjore kendo malongʼo chuth. (aiōn g165)
And be not likened unto this world, but be changed by the renewing of your minds, that you may discern what is the will of Aloha, good, and acceptable, and perfect. (aiōn g165)
3 Nimar kuom ngʼwono mosemiya, awacho ni ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomu ni: Kik ipar ni iduongʼ moloyo kaka ichal to ket pachi kare eka ingʼad buchi kaluwore gi kar rom yie ma Nyasaye osepogoni.
But I tell you all through the grace which is given to me, that you are not to think beyond what it is proper to think; but that you think with sobriety, every man as Aloha hath divided to him faith in measure.
4 Nikech mana kaka ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomwa nigi ringruok achiel man-gi fuonde mangʼeny, to kendo fuondegi duto ok tim tich machalre,
For as in one body we have many members, and as all the members have not one work,
5 e kaka ei Kristo, waloso ringruok achiel, kata obedo ni wangʼeny, kendo ngʼato ka ngʼato kuomwa ni e achiel gi jowetene mamoko duto.
so also we who are many are one body in the Meshiha; but we are each of us members one of another.
6 Wan gi mich mopogore opogore kaluwore gi ngʼwono momiwa. Ka mich ngʼato en koro wach, to mondo oti kode kaluwore gi yie mare.
But we have various gifts according to the grace that is given to us: is it prophecy? (let him who has received it) prophesy according to the measure of the faith.
7 Ka en tiyo ni ji, to mondo oti, ka en puonj, to mondo opuonji.
Hath (another the gift) of ministry? (let him be employed) in his ministry; he who is a teacher, (let him labour) in his teaching;
8 Ka en jiwo ji, to mondo ojiw ji; ka en chiwo ne joma ochando, to mondo ochiw gi ngʼwono; ka en telo, to mondo orit ji gi kinda; ka en kecho ji, to mondo otime komor.
he who is an exhorter, in his exhorting; as he who giveth, (let him give with simplicity; ) and he who presideth, (let it be) with diligence; and he who (is engaged in works) of mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Hera nyaka bed mar adier. Beduru mosin gi timbe maricho; padreuru kuom gik mabeyo.
And let not your love be guileful; abhor things evil, cleave to the good.
10 Genreuru ngʼato gi ngʼato gihera mar owete. Ngʼato ka ngʼato mondo odhial nyawadgi moloyo kaka odhialore owuon.
Be tender to your brethren, and love one another, being forward to honour one another.
11 Kik chunyu nyosre, to meduru bedo motegno, kutiyo ni Ruoth.
Be diligent, and not slothful, be fervent in spirit, be serving your Lord.
12 Beduru mamor kuom geno, kutimo sinani e sand muyudo, kendo ulamo ma ok uywe.
Rejoice in your hope, sustain your afflictions, be constant in prayer;
13 Poguru giu gi jo-Nyasaye mochando. Beduru joma ohero rwako welo.
distributing to the necessity of the saints. Be kind to strangers.
14 Gwedhuru joma sandou; gwedhgiuru agwedha, kik ukwongʼ-gi.
Bless your persecutors; bless, and curse not.
15 Moruru gi joma mor, kendo ywaguru gi joma ywak.
Rejoice with them who rejoice, and weep with them who weep.
16 Daguru gi winjruok e kindu. Kik usungru, to beduru gi chuny mohero riwore gi joma ni e ngima mapiny. Kik ngʼato wuondre ni oriek moloyo ji mamoko.
And what you think of yourselves, (that) also think of your brethren; nor think with a high mind, but incline to them who are humble; and be not wise in the conceit of your own mind.
17 Kik uchul ngʼato angʼata rach kar rach. Neuru ni utimo gima ji duto oyiego ni ber.
And repay to no man evil for evil, but be careful to do good before all men.
18 Ka nyalore, to temuru mondo udag gi kwe gi ji duto.
And if possible, as much as is in you, with all men make peace.
19 Kik uchul kuoro, osiepena, to weuru thuolo ne mirimb Ruoth Nyasaye, nimar ondiki niya, “An ema nachul kuor; abiro chulo,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
And avenge not yourselves, my beloved, but give place unto wrath; for it is written, that if thou execute not judgment for thyself, I will execute thy judgment, saith Aloha.
20 To bende Muma wacho niya, “Ka jasiki odenyo, to miye chiemo; ka riyo oloye, to miye gimoro omodhi, ka itimo kamano, ibiro choko chuk mach maliel e wiye.”
And if thy adversary hunger, feed him; and if he thirst, give him drink: and if these things thou do unto him, coals of fire thou wilt heap upon his head.
21 Kik uyie richo lou, to louru richo gi tim maber.
Let not evil overcome you, but overcome evil with good.
